We all want to be happy, but happiness always seems to be out of reach — until now. In New Happy, happiness expert and social media sensation Stephanie Harrison draws upon hundreds of studies to offer a life-changing guide to finding the happiness you have been looking for.
It’s not your fault if you are unhappy. You have been told three lies: you’re not good enough; you need to achieve fame, wealth, and power; and you need to do it all on your own. This is Old Happy, our society’s false definition of happiness, and it’s making us miserable. In this book, you’ll learn the truth: you are enough, you have unique and important gifts, and using them to help other people leads to your happiness.
New Happy is your step-by-step guide to building the life you want. Accompanied by revelatory artwork that explains key concepts, Harrison takes you through the process of unwinding Old Happy, uncovering your own gifts, and using them to both improve your life and the world at the same time. If you have ever asked yourself, “Who am I really?” “When will I be happy?” or “What am I supposed to do with my life?” this book is for you. Through an inspiring blend of art and science, New Happy will show you how to find the happiness you have been looking for.
Through an inspiring blend of art and science, New Happy will forever change the way you see yourself and the world.
"Stephanie Harrison has made happiness a worthwhile goal, one based in powerful choices that lead you to a life of purpose and self-love... and ultimately—the new happy."

Hi, I’m Stephanie Harrison, the author of New Happy. I wrote this book because I’m just like you: I want to be happy. And (perhaps also like you!) no matter what I did or how hard I tried, nothing ever did make me happy.
For years, I blamed myself. Then, one day, I realized that it wasn’t my fault at all—as it turned out, everything that I had ever been told about happiness was wrong. There had to be a better way, so I embarked upon a ten-year journey to discover the truth about how to live a happy life.
Informed by thousands of studies and drawing upon ancient wisdom, I came up with a new approach to happiness. I call it the New Happy philosophy, and for the very first time, I’m sharing it in this book. It’s the proven path to both your own happiness and a better world.
In this book, you’ll learn the step-by-step process to unwinding Old Happy and finding your own New Happy. The book is 100% new material, packed with insights from the latest science and powerful tools that really work. It’s also illustrated with 55 new pieces of art, used to explain the book’s most important concepts in our signature visual style that you know and love.
New Happy will help you to finally experience the happiness you’ve been looking for. I can’t wait for you to read it.
